Ling Yuan: Please Look After My Daughter
"You flatter me, Mr. Ling Yuan."
Although she was puzzled, she returned the greeting out of politeness since the other party had already bowed.
Immediately afterwards, she heard Ling Yuan say:
"We are tourists from Fontaine. This is Fontaine, our latest research project in the sky."
Upon hearing this, Keqing glanced blankly at Vimana.
The more I look at it, the stranger it seems.
Despite being a craftswoman and a master of infrastructure, she couldn't detect any trace of the Floating Stone on the spaceship.
Logically speaking, aside from hot air balloons, the most common way for humans to fly thousands of meters into the air is with Floating Stone.
But there wasn't even a trace of it on the ship.
Could it be that Fontaine's technology has advanced to the point where it can fly for extended periods without relying on the Floating Stone?
"Keqing?"
"Huh? What's wrong?" Keqing.
"You seemed a bit lost in thought. Are you alright? You should get some rest."
"You don't need to worry about this. If you really are tourists from Fontaine, then come with me to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to report it."
"We naturally know about this. Before that, here's a small gift, nothing special," Ling Yuan said with a smile.
"?"
At first Keqing was somewhat dismissive.
But I was stunned after seeing it.
What... what is this?!
A colorful Archon!
It's not a clay figurine; this is a 1:7 scale figure that Ling Yuan made!
There is also Statue of the Seven version, which features a gray-silver design.
"I wonder if this will meet Lady Keqing's approval?" Ling Yuan asked with a smile, noticing the Keqing's eyes.
Satisfied? More than satisfied, absolutely fantastic!
It perfectly hit her fantasy!
These are things that Liyue has never had before.
"Um, well, cough! The Liyue Qixing do not accept any gifts."
Despite saying that, her eyes remained fixed on the figurine in Ling Yuan's hand.
Have
Wow, the Archon is so handsome!
I want it so badly!
His monologue.
"Lord Keqing?"
Just then, a timid voice came from behind.
The sound instantly brought Keqing back to her senses.
After glancing once more at the Archon in Ling Yuan's hand, he coughed lightly and turned around.
Out of sight, out of mind.
"Ganyu, what brings you here?" she asked the person who approached.
"Ganyu ..."
Shenhe looked up when he heard the name.
Looking at the girl dressed almost exactly like her, she immediately understood.
Is she Ganyu?
After arriving in front of Keqing, Ganyu looked at Ling Yuan and the others and said, "Lady Ningguang said that these people are guests of Liyue and asked me to take them there."
"Ningguang?"
After thinking for a while, Keqing nodded. "Since it was Ningguang who said it, then I'll leave the rest to you, Ganyu."
She admired Ningguang quite a bit.
Ganyu was taken aback when she saw Barbatos waving at her, then said, "Everyone, please follow me."
That's all
The group followed Ganyu and left.
Before leaving, Ling Yuan made sure to give Keqing several figurines of the Archon.
Chapter 331 Ling Yuan: Please look after my daughter.
"Let's not talk about such things now that we've been apart for so long."
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, Zhongli took the initiative to end the conversation.
He turned to the side, looked at the crowd, and spoke:
"Nice to meet you all. I am Morax, a god from Liyue. My name in Liyue is Zhongli, so please call me Zhongli."
After introducing themselves, Zhongli gestured for the person in the chair to sit down.
Everyone took their seats.
"Guhua Teahouse's Liyue cuisine (glass dish) is one of Li Yue's specialties, and I hope it will suit our tastes." Zhongli fulfilled his responsibility as host.
Contracts uphold fairness and equality.
Morax is strict with himself in this regard.
"Don't rush to eat, I brought over a pot of good wine," Venti said.
"Oh? It's extremely rare for you to call it good wine. I must have a few cups." Zhongli chuckled.
"Heh heh, I'm not bragging, but this tastes much better than your so-called immortal wine."
Zhongli smiled as Venti pulled a golden wine flask from her bosom.
Immediately afterwards, the red wine was poured out of the wine jug.
The rich aroma of the wine instantly filled the entire private room.
"Indeed, it is a very fine wine." He gently picked up a glass, smelled it, and said.
Zhongli swirled the wine in his glass and suddenly asked, "Venti, you didn't water it down, did you?"
Venti: "..."
"Puff."
"Cough cough."
"..."
Seeing Venti's pale face, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
"Is it funny? Is it funny? What's so funny?" Venti grumbled.
Barbara, a devout believer, became serious, her twitching cheeks revealing the strain she was putting on.
After speaking, Venti looked at Zhongli resentfully and muttered, "Don't you trust me at all?"
Zhongli smiled slightly.
He then drank it all in one gulp.
"Oh! You drank it, ten million Mora!"
Venti's eyes lit up, and she immediately reached out her hand.
Ling Yuan: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Barbara and Jean covered their faces.
How embarrassing!
Zhongli, however, seemed to be used to Venti's exorbitant demands, and simply made a thoughtful gesture:
"Ten million Mora... It doesn't seem like much at first glance, but in general terms, it is indeed a huge number."
"Morax without Mora?" Venti countered.
"Indeed," Zhongli said calmly.
Venti: "..."
Zhongli poured himself another blanket and slowly said:
"As the Lord of Geo Morax, I can easily create Mora, but since I have chosen the identity of a mortal like [Zhongli], I should abide by the rules of mortals."
"Lord Barbatos, please don't say such nonsensical things," Qin also said.
"Tch." Venti curled her lip.
I sat down, not really interested.
After a few rounds of drinks
Qin and Barbara were too ashamed to look.
Venti, looking like a drunkard, was holding a flask in one hand and had the other arm around Zhongli's neck, talking about the Dvalin's misunderstanding.
"I'm sorry, you all must have seen this funny." Qin said to the group, blushing.
"This is the god of Mondstadt..."
Shenhe's expression was a little blank.
She found it hard to associate the drunkard in front of her with a god.
Zhongli calmly sipped his tea.
A slight upturn at the corners of his mouth.
Clearly, he hadn't experienced this feeling in a long time, which also shows that the two are truly good friends.
In fact, Liyue and Mondstadt are on good terms.
"Gentlemen, have you had the opportunity to properly explore Liyue?"
Pushing Venti's face away with one hand, Zhongli looked at everyone and asked.
His words are measured and measured, like those of a refined gentleman.
"Not yet, Zhongli, do you have any recommendations?"
Zhongli thought for a moment and said, "In that case, I recommend going to the port to take a look."
"That is the heart of Liyue, and also its most prosperous area, with beautiful scenery."
"A sea breeze can wash away fatigue, so I highly recommend this place," Zhongli said.
"Is that so? Then Cecilia, you should go to the port first."
"Brother Ling Yuan, aren't you going?" Klee asked.
Ling Yuan patted Klee's head and said, "There's a place I'd like to go."
"Let's meet at the port later."
"Um."
"Um, Lord Barbatos ..." Barbara hesitated, looking at Venti clinging to Zhongli's back.
"Go and have fun, everyone. I'll look after Venti," Zhongli said.
"Thank you for your help, Lord Rock God," Qin said.
